Chapter 88: Sailors

Before the five people entered the town, they were all disguised. Liu Feng was a vicissitudes of uncle, Xu Tu was a fierce man with a beard on his face, Shankong became the version of Lu Zhishen, Wu Sheng was a middle-aged Taoist priest, and only Chu Liu was dressed as a scholar. His soft facial features and gentle smile made him approachable.

Moreover, in this era, scholars were respected, even hypocritical hypocrites.

Seeing Chu Liu wearing a Confucian robe, the woman in the yard looked down and looked down at her daughter who was holding her thigh. She looked a little guilty in her eyes, and she couldn't help but reach out and touch her daughter's dead hair.

Because the thieves closed the road, many outsiders were stranded in the town. The woman also knew about this. Many nearby families also made some money by temporarily renting their spare houses to those outsiders.

She had a slight idea, but she was worried that if her family had an orphan girl and widowed mother, if she met a villain and led a wolf into the house, it would not be as simple as losing both people and money. In this chaotic place, she could not even save her life at any time, so she never went to attract customers.

"Mom, it's all my fault. You can scold me."

The little girl raised her head and looked full of blame. In her opinion, she brought these people to the door.

"Ling'er is so well-behaved, how could she be willing to scold you?"

Looking at her daughter's thin little face and thinking of the empty rice bag at home, the woman suddenly made up her mind and decided to gamble once. After all, they had already found the door outside. Even if the five people outside were really bad people, if they wanted to commit a crime, they would not be able to stop them with the two tattered wooden doors and the fence.

After making up her mind, she put down the firewood in her hand, then walked over and opened the door of the yard, "If you want to find a place to stay overnight, I have an empty house here, with earthen kangs and bedding. You can come in and take a look. In terms of price-"

"Mom, twenty cents!"

The little girl in the yard whispered.

"Then it costs twenty cents. If you think it's not suitable, forget it."

The woman glanced at her daughter with a doting look. The price was relatively high, after all, the conditions for their family were there.

"No need, it's getting late, so that's it."

Liu Feng looked at the face of the woman in front of him and made a decision. For some reason, he always felt that the woman in front of him looked familiar. He seemed to have seen her somewhere, but he couldn't remember where she was.

"Give."

Seeing that Liu Feng agreed, the others naturally had no objection. Xu Tu took out twenty cents to the woman, and then threw a ingot of silver for Chu Liu, "Go and buy a new set of bedding and get some food back."

After Chu Liu joined the Jinyiwei, he had been promoted to a small flag, but he was still a subordinate of Xu Tu, a hundred households. After receiving the silver, he threw it away without saying much, and turned around and left.

The woman took the four to a room inside.

The house was very simple, with only one earthen kang and a thin patch quilt. The kang was very clean and there was not even charcoal ash. It was obviously not used for a long time.

"Miss, please take these bedding back, we don't need it..."

After Xu Tu hugged the bedding on the kang to the mother and daughter, he took Shankong and Wu Sheng to set it in. Soon, flames ignited in the kang, and the warm heat dispelled the cold air in the house. There was a table and several stools in the originally empty house. These things, including the firewood burning in the kang, were bought from nearby homes.

"I'm back."

Not long after the house was finished, Chu Liu came back with a big bag and a brand new bedding and brought food from the restaurant.

"I don't know if it's because it's close to the city, the town has a lot of things, but it's too expensive. I bought roast chicken, sauce meat, braised meat, and rice."

Chu Liu said as he took out the food in the food box and placed it on the table. There was still heat on it, and a smell of meat suddenly spread.

Liu Feng sat on the stool and said to the four people around him: "Don't stand and eat together."

The four of them looked at each other, and then said in unison to Liu Feng: "Thank you--"

"Hey, in this situation, don't have those false gifts anymore, sit down quickly."

The four of them looked a little restrained when they sat down, and they were all just lying down to make their rice.

Liu Feng knew their concerns and was too lazy to say anything more. After all, in this era, the superiority and inferiority of the upper and lower levels were an insurmountable gap. Especially after experiencing the artifact incident, he felt that he had begun to deify in the eyes of his subordinates.

"Guru~"

Suddenly a voice came in from outside. Liu Feng looked up and saw the little girl sitting by the door, staring at the food on the table.

"Come on, I'll give it to you."

Liu Feng tore off a chicken leg and said to the little girl.

The little girl's eyes lit up, and her hands and feet were used to get up, and rushed to Liu Feng and grabbed the chicken legs with both hands. Just as she was about to bite the smooth chicken legs, she suddenly remembered something, turned around and ran outside. When she ran to the door, she stopped again, then turned around and bowed to Liu Feng, "Uncle, you are such a good person."

After saying that, he left in a hurry. Not long after, the sound of the mother and daughter whispering outside came from outside.

After eating, Liu Feng went to the kang to rest. After all, there were no entertainment programs in ancient nights. What else could he do besides sleeping? After coming here, he was forced to develop the good habit of going to bed early and getting up early.

Lying in the warm bed, Liu Feng turned on the system and looked at the optional task above. This task was triggered when he sent troops.

Optional mission: [Defense battle in the battle of defending the city, defending the city within the specified time, countdown 32:20:15, mission success: reward three thousand sailors, failure punishment: none]

From the countdown on the mission, we can infer the time when the city of Weicheng was broken, which is also why Liu Feng left behind the large army and arrived here with more than 100 cavalry.

Because it would take at least two days to reach Weicheng with the army. At this time, the countdown had already ended, and Weicheng might have been destroyed.

After Liu Feng rested, Xu Tu and the other four were divided into two groups to rotate to vigil.

At the same time, in another room, the mother and daughter were staring at Liu Feng's room through the window.

"Ling'er, go to bed quickly."

"Mom, do you think they are bad guys?"

"I don't know, but I must be careful about others. Fortunately, they only stay for one night and just get through tonight. Okay, don't worry, go to bed quickly."

Although the door of the house was closed tightly, the woman was still a little worried.

"Mom, I'm not sleepy. You have to get up early to wash your clothes. Let's take a break. I'll see you and call you when I'm sleepy."

The little girl said well-behavedly.

"Then... OK, remember to call me mother when I'm sleepy."

Thinking that her daughter could still take some sleep during the day, the woman stopped insisting. She stuffed the scissors in her hand under the pillow and fell asleep quickly. In the dark night, only a little girl was left staring at the outside with her big eyes and thundering.
